如果没有特别的说明,本申请所提到的“包括”和“包含”表示开放式,也可以是封闭式。例如,所述“包括”和“包含”可以表示还可以包括或包含没有列出的其他组分,也可以仅包括或包含列出的组分。

钙钛矿太阳能电池的制备包括钙钛矿层的制备。然而,通常制备的钙钛矿薄膜的表面或多或少都会出现空位缺陷、间隙缺陷、反位缺陷等本征缺陷,这些缺陷会引起钙钛矿中的组分离子、特别是A位上的甲胺、甲脒离子迁移、逸出与降解。此外,空气或环境中的水、氧、紫外线等可穿过某些电荷传输层,到达钙钛矿层,它们与钙钛矿接触可能会造成钙钛矿的变质、分解。这些问题的存在使得钙钛矿的结构容易遭到破坏并且容易使太阳能电池器件失效。
经过对上述问题的研究,现认为抑制钙钛矿表面的缺陷和离子迁移、阻隔环境中的水、氧、紫外线等解决上述问题的关键。在实现上述目标的同时,还应尽量减少异质结构的引入,例如,应避免增加异质界面与相应的工艺流程。在主体钙钛矿层(为方便描述,下文将未被覆盖的三维钙钛矿层称为“主体钙钛矿层”)表面覆盖一维钙钛矿包覆层是解决上述问题的一种理想方案。一维钙钛矿包覆层的本征稳定性优越,甚至高于一维钙钛矿材料;同时,一维钙钛矿包覆层覆盖在主体钙钛矿表面,能够阻隔水、氧、紫外线等,并且其与主体钙钛矿层之间形成界面,界面稳定性提高。此外,对主体钙钛矿层进行上下表面及四周全覆盖能够显著改善钙钛矿太阳能电池的稳定性。
因此,本申请的第一方面提供一种钙钛矿太阳能电池,其在结构上依次包括透明电极、电子传输层、钙钛矿层、空穴传输层和第二电极,
其中所述钙钛矿层包括主体钙钛矿层及覆盖在其表面和四周的一维钙钛矿包覆层,所述一维钙钛矿包覆层包括:

本申请所述的钙钛矿太阳能电池从下到上可依次包括透明电极、电子传输层、钙钛矿层、空穴传输层、第二电极,也可从上到下依次包括透明电极、空穴传输层、钙钛矿层、电子传输层、第二电极,如图1所示,太阳光从下方射入。透明电极为用于光入射的电极。本申请中,透明电极也称作第一电极。
从空间维度结构来讲,钙钛矿结构可以分为零维、一维、二维和三维。
一维钙钛矿覆盖层的制备工艺与二维钙钛矿覆盖层的制备工艺方法相近。以共蒸PbI 2和炔丙基铵碘盐为例,在例如采用热蒸镀工艺制备底层覆盖层的过程中,以两种的盐的固体粉末为蒸发源,在一定真空度与温度条件下使两种盐以分子形式蒸发,在空中或上方衬底相遇,发生化合反应形成共面一维钙钛矿结构并沉积在衬底表面。在采用例如旋涂工艺制备表层覆盖层及四周覆盖层的过程中,旋涂例如炔丙基铵碘盐于主体钙钛矿层表面和四周,再进行加热退火,主体钙钛矿层中存在过量的PbI 2与炔丙基铵碘盐化合构成一维钙钛矿结构。
采用的覆盖层材料不同,所得到的覆盖层的结构有很大不同,由此形成一维钙钛矿覆盖层和二维钙钛矿覆盖层。一维钙钛矿覆盖层和二维钙钛矿覆盖层的区分可采用X射线衍射法进行确定。
现认为,一维钙钛矿覆盖层的形成机理如下:所使用的覆盖层材料的阳离子作为A位阳离子,其在B-X(例如Pb-I)八面体层状框架形成的过程中,诱导八面体间形成非连续共面排布,且A位阳离子间空间堆叠方式互斥力较大,因而B-X(例如Pb-I)八面体框架间隔较大,形成进而一维钙钛矿结构。
使用一维钙钛矿层对主体钙钛矿层进行上下表面包覆具有以下优势:
(1)一维钙钛矿覆盖层能够抑制离子迁移,从而降低光对钙钛矿的降解作用;
(2)一维钙钛矿覆盖层的形成能低,故本征稳定性高;
(3)一维钙钛矿覆盖层中作为A位离子的是疏水有机阳离子,不易挥发,因此稳定性较高。
(4)作为A位离子的覆盖层材料的阳离子与主体钙钛矿中的碘离子具有强作用力,能够形成界面锚定,抑制B-X(例如Pb-I)八面体旋转,从而提高钙钛矿的相稳定性;
(5)一维钙钛矿层在覆盖在主体钙钛矿层表面并与之形成界面时,能够提高界面稳定性;
(6)一维钙钛矿覆盖层能够很好地阻隔外界水、氧、紫外线的侵蚀。
因此,本申请所述的钙钛矿层适合与对水、氧、紫外线阻挡能力较差的电子传输层或空穴传输层搭配。
与二维钙钛矿覆盖层相比,一维钙钛矿覆盖层稳定性更高,阻隔水氧紫外光能力更强,另外,由于其能够隔断了一些例如碘铅连接,因此导电性能较差,因而一维钙钛矿覆盖层的厚度要求更薄一些。
图2中为本申请实施例I-1中制备的一维钙钛矿包覆层的表层(第二覆盖层)的X射线衍射图,证实了本申请中形成的是一维钙钛矿包覆层。
在一些实施方式中,所述一维钙钛矿包覆层还包括覆盖主体钙钛矿层四周的第三覆盖层。
对主体钙钛矿层进行全面的包覆,即,上下表面及四周全覆盖,相比于仅上下表面覆盖的钙钛矿,所得到的电池器件能够实现更好的长期稳定性。
在一些实施方式中,所述第一覆盖层、所述第二覆盖层、所述第三覆盖层的厚度各自独立地为1~20nm,可选2~5nm。
第一层覆盖层和第二层覆盖层的厚度在上述范围内,能够提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转化效率。
另外,由于形成的一维钙钛矿的本征电阻较大,因此需要在上述范围内调控第一、第二覆盖层的厚度来平衡太阳能电池的性能。
在使用了本申请所述的一维钙钛矿包覆层之后,可选地不再使用钝化层来对主体钙钛矿层进行钝化。
在一些实施方式中,所述第一覆盖层的LUMO能级与所述主体钙钛矿层的LUMO能级之差的绝对值在在0~0.3eV范围内,可选在0.05~0.25eV范围内。
在一些实施方式中,所述第一覆盖层的LUMO能级大于或等于所述电子传输层的LUMO能级,且
所述第一覆盖层的LUMO能级与所述电子传输层的LUMO能级之差的绝对值在0~0.6eV范围内,可选在0.3~0.5eV范围内。
第一覆盖层和主体钙钛矿层之间、第一覆盖层和电子传输层之间的LUMO能级具有如上所述的关系,有利于电子更顺利地从钙钛矿层到达电子传输层,从而能够保证电池开压,并且能够改善太阳能电池的光电转化效率。
所述第一覆盖层的LUMO能级的调节还可通过调节其厚度和材料来实现。
在一些实施方式中,所述第二覆盖层的HOMO能级大于或等于所述主体钙钛矿层的HOMO能级,且
所述第二覆盖层的HOMO能级与所述主体钙钛矿层的HOMO能级之差的绝对值在0~0.3eV范围内,可选在0.05~0.1eV范围内。
在一些实施方式中,所述第二覆盖层的HOMO能级小于或等于所述空穴传输层的HOMO能级,且
所述第二覆盖层的HOMO能级与所述空穴传输层的HOMO能级之差的绝对值在0~0.3eV范围内,可选在0~0.15eV范围内。
第二覆盖层和主体钙钛矿层之间以及第二覆盖层和空穴传输层之间的HOMO能级具有如上的关系,有利于空穴更顺利地从钙钛矿层到达空穴传输层,从而能够保证电池开压,并且能够影响电池的光电转化效率。
在一些实施方式中,所述第一覆盖层、所述第二覆盖层和所述第三覆盖层的覆盖材料各自独立地为选自以下物质或其衍生物中的至少一种的卤素盐:

实际操作中,用于覆盖的材料为离子化合物形式。可将覆盖层材料做成盐的形式(理论上所有不影响操作的盐皆是可选的,最佳为卤素盐),然后使所述盐与主体钙钛矿层直接接触。
在一些实施方式中,所述第一覆盖层和所述第二覆盖层之一由所述覆盖材料和卤化金属盐形成,可选地,所述覆盖材料和卤化金属盐的摩尔比在1:0.9~1:1.3范围内,可选在1:1.05~1:1.2范围内。
覆盖材料和卤化金属盐的摩尔比影响所形成的覆盖层的能级进而影响太阳能电池的性能。因此可通过调节这二者的摩尔比来调节覆盖层的能级以实现更好的性能,可选地,所述摩尔比在上述范围内。
在所述第一覆盖层和所述第二覆盖层之一由上述覆盖材料和卤化金属盐形成的情况下,所述第一覆盖层和所述第二覆盖层中的另一层由覆盖层材料来制备,无需使用卤化金属盐。实际操作中,所述第一覆盖层和所述第二覆盖层中先制备的一层为底层,在底层制备过程中,使用覆盖层材料和卤化金属盐可选地采用共蒸镀方法形成一维钙钛矿结构;其次制备的一层为表层,在表层制备过程中,可以仅使用覆盖层材料无需使用卤化金属盐,这是因为制备好的主体钙钛矿层中通常存在多余的X阴离子,其可与覆盖层材料相互作用形成表层覆盖层。在制备的主体钙钛矿层中不存在多余X阴离子或者存在的X阴离子不足的情况下,可在表层制备中酌情使用X阴离子盐,例如卤化金属盐。
在一些实施方式中,所述卤化金属盐选自碘化铅、溴化铅或氯化铅中的至少一种,可选为碘化铅。

IV.电池性能测试
对各个实施例和比较例中的钙钛矿太阳能电池进行性能测试。
1.能量转换效率测试
对各实施例和比较例的钙钛矿太阳能电池测定能量转换效率。大气环境下,太阳光模拟光源使用AM1.5G标准光源,使用四通道数字源表(Keithley 2440)测量光源照射下电池的伏安特性曲线,得到电池的开路电压Voc、短路电流密度Jsc、填充因子FF(Fill Factor),由此计算电池的能量转换效率Eff(Efficiency)。
能量转换效率如下计算:Eff=Pout/Popt
=Voc×Jsc×(Vmpp×Jmpp)/(Voc×Jsc)
=Voc×Jsc×FF
其中Pout、Popt、Vmpp、Jmpp分别为电池工作输出功率、入射光功率、电池最大功率点电压及最大功率点电流。
在此测试中,开路电压Voc即为表2-3中的电池开压。

3.能级测试
在常温、常压下,使用型号为Escalab 250Xi(来自Thermo Scientific)的X射线-紫外光电子能谱仪(XPS-UPS)测试得到的各覆盖层的能带分布。
4.各覆盖层厚度测试
